Would we make the tourney if season ended today?

I'm not nearly as informed about this process as football or basketball, but would we get in? Is it like March Madness where an at large only goes as low as a 12 seed, like LSU would get a 3 seed, not a 4 seed?
I know this is a newb question but trying to get bearings at where the baseball team is at today if season ended.

No, LSU is tied for 11th place in the SEC. The most to ever make the NCAA tournament is 10 teams, which all came from the SEC 4 different seasons. Good thing is they play the 10th place team and the team they are tied for 11th with the final 2 weekends. Win 4 of 6 and they should get in. Win 5 of 6 and it will be a lock.

Winning 5 of 6 will be difficult without a decent #3 starter. We’ll need someone that have a game of the season.

If Ackenhausen starts those Sunday games, JJ needs to chill and not be too quick to pull him.

I agree that it is very unlikely the SEC gets more than 10 teams in. But order of finish in conference play AND SEC Tournament performance (unless you win) is largely irrelevant. Look no further than 2021.
Georgia and LSU finished with equal 13-17 conference records. The tiebreaker had UGA as the 8th seed, while LSU was the 9th seed in the SEC Tournament. MOST on this board had the LSU v. Georgia game in the SEC Tournament as a de facto play in game. LSU lost. Panic ensued. What happened?
LSU reached the NCAA Tournament. Georgia did not.
LSU is not in today. But if they can take 2/3 from Alabama and (at least) 2/3 from Ole Miss they will have a pretty strong argument to get it. I would say slightly above a 50% chance.
Go 1/3 (or worse) vs Alabama and LSU probably has to sweep Ole Miss to have even a remote shot of getting in.

If the season ended today there wouldn't be a tournament. It would take some catastrophic event that I'm sure would supersede any postseason college baseball.

What we really need the next two weekends is to not have to use Herring until Sunday. That's really your best bet. Flip things around and use Ack in relief on Friday if you're up by at least 3 runs.
